' EA DER a - , we see a bo t s crew

of big , blonde barbarians on — - l o n a shore , fur clad , with g

hair wildly tangled . As t h ey

’ l ade the boat they laugh

s T h e u proariou ly . place is a

a n cove in a D nish isla d . The d at e a s a b e y ack to the era of the Jewish proph ts , before the time o f Christ . They a r e talki n g about certain desirable herds of cattle mm: o f their n umber have seen on the British w h o coast ; and anon about the puny people own them . They a re telling what sport it will be w hen they land there and take possession ; and how (l ro ll it w ill be to s r s a n d o w n fo r u pri e capture the ners also , keepi g them s a e a n s l v s d wive . An d n o w they embark from this harbor of C o ldby or C o e — — l by , the cold town or the hil l town , and , joining w t ma o f t i h ny ther boats rom the Dan ish shore , s art on on e o f those immens e marauding e xpeditions so common i n e ar t m s ly i e . What w ere th e names of these men ? N o one knows .

t f l if n m e an t he I t is doub u they had any ames , or th

~ n m f pl ac e a e s and a ondness for them . I t is a thousand miles th ey are goi n g ; but they will

t n . skir alo g the shores , and help t hemselves to supplies

EXT w e see our Danish fisherme n awkwardly t ry

o f r ing to milk their new cows . Some the B iton women are giving them instruction . It is a fi ne grazing country the men have come to ; and they seem greatly pleased with their n e w quarters . i s Their jollity rough and boisterous , as they slap each

f r o . other on the back , or clinch a tumble The conversation is quite upon the adva n t ages of

f o f s ? owning cattle , the happy li e one who is both a fi her man and a herdsman . They se e m pleased to settle into b w f th is qu iet life , and a andon their desultory ar ares . Here are the houses left by the native Britons their former occupants are mostly slain or fl ed into the wilder i ness . But the swarm o burly Da n es seems altogether countless along the British coast . Y e t Den mark has not b een left vacant ; and this emigration will never be n o ticed .

- e ve r ‘ s ot i s s Ignoring the B ritish place names , y p oon re - - christe ned with some fondly remembered home name , and the whole kingdom of East Anglia be comes a N ew “ BY f Denmark . KOLD is not orgotten . and a village receives the pleasant title yes , three or four villages .

More than a thousand years now pass away , but the same familiar name clings to the place . A thousand wars e r hav changed its occupants a hund ed times , and its lan guage as many . Not one old family who may have once lived , has escaped being cast out and lost sight of over and over again in the steady swirl o f contending streams a nd currents o f freebooting races .

ND NOW we see three knights on noble palfreys

mounted . Beside them stands a clerk resting his ponderou s book upon his saddle . I nto the inkhorn at his

“ ha t l a . W t name bearest | he asks the eldest knight

The question is in French.

“ s I am Robert o f County Norfolk . He also speak in

French . ’ P \ n d thou f Warine de No r olk . d n n . And this you g man , thi e other brother is calle Simon 9"

“ Thus was he named . t he w h o Then , in name of good King j ack , primarily I owns all purparty in A n glia , now endow you brethren three jointly w ith hal f this village o f Colby to hold in his name so long as in fealty you wield your swords for him

People , salute your masters f . Long li e to Robert , master of Colby l they cry And at this moment the men of single name become men of a new double name ; henceforward the local des ign at io n will be their family name forever down the years

( C OL Q Y TH E PL ACE .

H US Colby was the name of a place long b e fore i t was the name o f a man ; and there is no doubt that it was the name o f the place in Denmark long before it was the name of the vi]

lages in England . o f The eastern peninsula England , designated in part f at present as the Counties Norfolk and Suf olk , is fringed

- with meadow land . Before the art of farming had pro gre s s e d so far as to raise grass from seed on high grou nd the meadows were the valuable part of a cou ntry . Hence this district has been fought for by every clan and tribe i n e x and nation near , till its intermixture of peoples is an

- plicable race problem . The Norfolk shore without doubt was first overrun by the Danes before even j ulius C aesar conquered England , as well as occasionally afterward .

Many of the eastern to w ns have Danish names . There 2 6 af are 5 villages , near this coast , named ter Scandinavian “ — ones and in all England 43 2 en ding in by ; 1 7 here in Norfolk .

- All these are town names in Denmark or Sweden , and all l i olh v . b are descripti e terms , with a meaning n is Danish fo r f Cold Town , with an uncom ortable meaning , or Cool f Town , denoting com ort , according to the season ; but in both cases describing an island - town with a northeast erly exposure in the North Sea . 8

l The Norfolk English are chief y descendants o f the old

- o f f Danish sea kings ; the type their eatures is Danish ,

- and their speech is interspersed with semi Danish words .

There is an alertness about this Norse blood , wherever it f n o o f lows , which is readily ticed , and by very many the f Colby amily it is exemplified .

Let us trace our name back toDenmark . Far around the eastern shore o f the Danish peninsula are several islands , great and small . One is called Sam

f a n d so. It is fifteen miles long , very ertile ; is occupied

. a re by farmers There three townships , one called — Koldby , but no villages at present . Without doubt here is the birthplace o f the name .

IS LE O F SAMs i .

I t possible that the name o f this place may have

o f been suggested by that of the city Colberg , on the r northe n shore of Prussia , some three hu ndred miles away , where the sailors visited , one from the other . VL J KEL O E GQI A I N UJ Y V T O S .

One of the mightly men who came to England with the Norman Conqueror , and whose name is on the sacred

m i r s C o l u b e e . list of Battle Abbey , was Gu illaume of This name is pr onou nced i n Normandy more like Colby

c o l u mbi e re than it looks . The was one of those accursed t towers in which , before the Great Revolution , the yrant lords of Normandy she ltered the voracious pigeons which none but lords could own , and which preyed upon the harvests of the peasants till the peasant children died of a f mi a n e .

No other Norman name seems akin to ours , and this one is very . remote . Another unlikely derivation of the name is from a “ c e — quaint old Norfolk word , old r , the debris of straw after threshing . This is evidently related to the German — f leoh l o . , the stump anything R Ke w le o f e v . John y , rector the parishes of Colby and

Arbory in the I sle of Man , suggests the meaning of the ’ “ ” name to be Coll s Farm . But this is not accepted by educated Danes with whom I have talked . The rector

“ adds There are no people of your name on the Island , ” and it does not appear in any of our parish registers . The rector of Colby in Westmoreland uses about the same words regarding his parish .

A thousand years ago there were no me n named Col by ; and we have here tracked only the word . For personal names the Danish leaders made use o f

“ fi n e - f sounding phrases rom bird and beast , as the Amer “ s ican I ndian do , to designate themselves Mou ntain

” “ ” “ - o f Bear , Sea Falcon , Storm King while every man low degree bore a nickname o f questionable dignity and so they do on the English coast to this day .

1 2 corded in that warm red ink have this time held intact for wellnigh a thousand. years . f The English were a mixed race rom time immemorial . The names recorded in the time o f Edward the Confessor — 1 0 — - 50 are of many tongues . The Anglo Saxons were

German types on both sides . The native Britons have

a never , since the time of C esar , figured particularly in

English history .

' R M THE NO AN CONQUEST .

Wh e n William was preparing for the invasion above ‘ n mentioned , he gathered his knights , not o ly in France ,

- but by publishing his war ban in all Christendom . He offered a large sum of money and the pillage of England to every man of tall and robust s tature who would serve s- either with the lance , the sword , or the cros bow ; and the adventurers came in throngs . Some wanted money

an some an estate , and some simply English wife . England was thus supplied with a new and V igorous aristocracy . w a s Normandy , whence William came , a kingdom in

Northern France , peopled with an equally mixed race , of

Jutes , Saxons , French , etc . ; but the language was French . The Britons and the Saxons had no weapons of dis

“ ‘ - tance . It was the long b ows of the Normans that won — the Battle of Hastings . Spears and hurling stones were o of no avail . The N rman archers were for years the admiration of all Europe .

Still , the Saxons were no mean foe ; and all the old nobility died beside their king before nine that night and we are thus assured that the Colbys were not Sax ons . fam ily is named after the man yet is not oftenest the 3 ! if man like his mother She was no Colby So , the

’ mother is oftenest the man s controlling factor then why ’ o f f should he not bear her name instead his ather s , as in some eastern countries p

To be sure , women did not count for much in the

. f early days It is o ten mentioned at the present time ,

f o f mo Rea lizing , then , the act , that a man is woven re b e multicolored strands than an Arabian tapestry , it will

seen how hopeless is the t a sk o f trying to decide h i s f ancestry rom his p ersonality .

o f f h I think the most us , however , eel a conviction t at there is a characteristic individuality , a family trait , which

ma i n t a me d f f is in every amily , and which passes orward the points o f the race to future generations . Like begets like . Most of us have certainly learned the pleasant lesson of loving our old family tree ; and we all acknowledge

f o f n n o t a amily sympathy . Those our ame are very numerous and it is now beyond doubt that they are all o f one kith and kin and kind .

f a n d And as the name recalls ond memories , is associ

o f f i s ated with those our own amily whom we loved , it gratifying to find mea n s o f bringing to view o u r older relatives whom we neve r knew ; and even the eldest members of t h e C olby family who lived eight hundre d

s i n t ro du o year ago , are now received by us , on this new fl o m o fon l tion , as our own esh and blo d , who we als d y love . J N CIEN T F A M IL IE S .

At t h e Survey in 1 066 a register o f property was made fo r D the Conqueror , called the omesday Book , which is still in preservation . Of it photographic copies may be ’ seen in a n y large libra ry . But the peo ple s names are — grotesqu e and outlandish , one name to a man , and not

o f . one them that we recognize However , the old town

fa name , Colby , is there all right , and seems to have a miliar look . Most English lands and houses now had new proprie

an d tors , were massed into seven hundred Baronies or

f r Great F ie s , and then subdivided by the barons to thei ’ fe e n a knights a knight s bei g two hu ndred cres , more

c f n d t h e (i f a l l or less , a cording to its ertility ; a service the natives as his bondmen . - r s Consequently , landed property had three possesso ,

It remained

if y o u n o f England , should ext read the old registry real s o f h estate sale there , entitled The Feet F ines , whic records how the ordinary people bought and sold houses d a n lands just as they do here today , you would begin to mistrust that some o f the noblemen had merely a

- taxing right , not a proprietorship in the estates . Those small freeholders o f early England w ere the subtenants of no lord : they bought ; they sold . 1 8

E a o a ight hundred years g , when each man had only o single name , there was a pr sperous country gentleman in England cal led Pagan . That was then a frequent

a h name meaning first , a f rmer , and later , a heat en since the farmers were later than the townsp e ople i n

t a h e accep ing Christianity . The be utiful church that bu ilt , and which , dear reader , we hope you may sometime see , stands evidence to offset his name . He was owner o f - a- o f half dozen little parishes , each consisting a manor

‘ — a o f or mansion , as we should say , and its vill ge work people .

H ake fo r d C r e e kfo r d He lived originally at or , near by , and bore that name . a f It is probable th t Pagan , your grand ather , rebuilt the

- at a ancient manor house of Oldstead Hall Colby , so th t

' o famil f r it became the home f his y o several generations .

. Further back there is no trace . d a One who live at Colby was, c lled de Colby , not as If o a name , but only to place him . he rem ved , the old - w place name ould cling to him awhile , and then be dis

n a s f 1 2 00 placed by the e w . I t w a ter when the name Colby began to crystallize on our family and by 1 3 00 their removal to I ngw orth did not disturb it .

‘ I t is thus made plain that Robert w a s the o rigi n al f at o f Colby . There was a amily one the northern Colby towns ; but it soon died out There is no trace o f side branches of the first genera ’

. n o r tion Robert s brothers were not of the name , or

Then b y th e ru l e for o e e ri o s the clergy, though not always observed in th s p d o f a o f t h e fami h ’ w as religious degener cy , and the size , thus kept within bou nds . The deep piety o f the t ime o f the early Crusades was n f prese tly ollowed by a general laxity , although all the

u ch rch tithes were collected just as closely as formerly . A n d it w a s not now necessary that t he priest should be “

‘ “ a person o f enthusiastic devotion to read m a ss . More than one hu ndred murders in n ine years were committed

o f I read one old Norfolk priest who , while on his w a o f f y to church in a state intoxication , ell into a brook , w f t o here he lay , re using help , and protesting hat he w uld drink that up also before he said mass . -fi h t On another occasion , a dog g occurred by chance

h ad in the aisle during mass , (all churches mass then) , and the priest excitedly betted on one o f the dogs from

o f his altar with one the brethren .

There was not always so good an attendance , however ,

— fo r a few and one parson , bothered to hold service j ust w old omen , hired them to stay away , so he could attend ff to more important a airs .

a A hundred years earlier , the gre t religious revival had resulted in the Crusades to the Holy Land , and in building a n incredible overs t ock o f beautiful churches at

R U SADIN G was at its height during Robert ’ s

- time . While the half dozen expeditions were f rescuing the Holy Land rom the Saracens , we i learn but very little o f the Colby vicissitudes f f but rom the first the line is given , ollowed by

the successive Census Visitations , and extracts f rom the parish registers and other reco rds . The Colby vigor has had part in at least two o f the most drama tic events in the evolution of modern f civilization . War are seems to have been its hereditary disposition , and frequently its constant vocation . One

v of these dramatic e ents was in Palestine .

o f f f Some, our English ore athers participated in the

Crusades , as the emblems on the Colby arms have ever of since celebrated . I n the estimate the modern e v o l u t io n i s t l , those ages of b oody strife were a necessary

’ “ school in the process of man s development . War is the

. d educator of the races , says Prof Drummon . It has always been accounted a great honor to descend from a crusader ; and yet , people of these days think - th at the greatest good fortune Europe ever exper i enced o f fl wa s when some millions her scum oated eastward . and never succeeded in floating back again . However, m there as in other wars , the good went from holy otives ,

f f n and the rest o r u . These were simply examples o f the occasional e pide m ics of insanity to which human nature is liable . O n e

C o xe i s m generation sees Salem witchcraft , and another , y .

H ow crazy the crusaders were , may be illustrated by the - o f oft quoted scene at the taking Jerusalem when , after slaughtering the men , women , and children in the city to the nu mber of till the horses stood knee -deep in blood , the victors must needs piously lay off their shoes , approach the holy sepulchre on bended knee , and there sing hymns and shed thankful tears to their Redeemer !

r n n e ce s Howeve , Robert , Wari e , and Simon were not ril s a y maniacs from being crusaders . G L O S TE ’ Y) H J L L A .

T H E G R S T H E R NEI HBO AND CHILD EN .

IT FL E is now known o f the old manor - house

called Oldstead Hall , save its name ; and no

one seems able to point out its site . Houses ’ find so aged as that would be , are far to even in

East Anglia . I t is interesting to know who was the owner

o f di st rl c t of the other half the Colby , and why he was R ibb e s t e i n not a de C o l e bi . Walter de evidently had his manor elsewhere ; although I have been unable to C o lleb locate it , and he was sometimes called a y . I t is

1 2 2 l recorded that in 7 he gave to the Monks of St . H y l da , inf uenced by D ivine piety and at the request of his C o lle b C o lle b wife , Margaret de y , three acres of land in y fo r field and other things . I t was the custom many years thereabouts fo r those who were rich to build a priory or a e o f chapel , and for the poorer to giv their means to those of the clergy who were supposed to be most in fluential in heavenly quarters . A man who did not give was des pi se d ; so the monks prospered financially . ’ Robert s son HUG H married a daughter of William

o f . Frank , Felmingham , whose arms were Vert , a saltire f engrailed Or . I n denoting amilies of English gentry , it is desirable to give the arms . She was named Margaret . Of their children we can only learn that the names of the three boys were JOHN , William , and Clement , two popes and a king . c . hevrons , Sable

1 2 8 r o f I n 5, Henry received the hono a charter fo r fr r e e w a re n in the county . This was the right to hunt in

u the royal forests . William the Conq eror , having been passionately fond of the chase , had restricted all forests and , by law , any one who killed therein a deer , boar , or

e . hare , had his yes put out

At this time , hu nting with trained hawks took a new t star ; and , as a gentleman could not fight nor flirt all d the time , and had no paper to rea , it added a new zest to life . With most of them it was a pleasant and cons tant pursuit .

fo r Norfolk is widely known , even at the present day , its sport but in early times it must have been simply a ’ S fo r m portsman s paradise ; , besides the game just e n t ion e d e , the broads were alive with herons , peopl d with bustards , ruffs , reeves , wild ducks , and many other birds while along the intervales otters and foxes were extremely plentiful .

u f Chronology is a very nsatis actory study . Neither the dynasties o f the C aesars nor those o f the popes have been clearly ascertained .

Where t he old records flatly contradict each other , there is little prospect of adjustment

R T H E COLBY COATS O F A M S .

LT H O U G H personal badges and ensigns have

been carried by warriors of all ages , a settled system o f fa mi ly emblems was one of the several

remarkable outcomes o f the Crusades . Eminent warriors in Britain wore distingu ishing personal badges as early as the fifth century ; and in

’ C o llv rw - at Arthur s time , Coll , son of y, principal king arms , (who was almost a Colby by name) gave armorial bearings ; yet no family coats o f arms on shields or ban ners occur there prior to 1 1 6 5. After a while the law —a t — took cognizance of them , and two kings arms were appointed to accept and record all coats , as being claims to ownership . This system continues ; and any applicant unable to

e establish his direct desc nt must bear a modified coat .

There is always a great controversy as to whether we can accept the emblems on coats o f arms at their obvious o o f f meaning , as rec rding incidents the amily history , or o n

J .)

d s o whether they were adopted at ran om , and indicate what never happened . The present writer believes very

f f - strongly in taking the older coats at their ull ace value .

E. . . o f f C o l On the other hand , Dr T Colby , Ox ord

En h o mo madam/ 21 m l i ter/ 01 7 mm lege , g , . holds decided

n l vie w s to the contrary . O e would hard y ventu re to

ff w x di er with him in heraldry , ere not the e perts all so at

i var ance .

i h f a n d But both s des s all be airly told , the reader take his choice .

’ T H E EHC A L L O I .

Three s e ashells have fro m the first been the sp e cial

o f f emblem the Colby amily . although others have borne

w ff u s u al me a n i n them ith di erent surroundings . The g

f was o . the device , participation in a crusade Many pil grims wore a particular kind o f shells w hich were found ve ry p le n t ifu l on the shores o f Palestine ; so that they

’ f s r s came to be an evidence o that journey. See VV e b t e dictionary . m But there were other pilgri ages than the crusades , — especially in the tenth and eleventh centuries , to Rome .

Jerusalem , and other places ; and a great rush to Com

o s t e lla 1 2 8 . . p , Spain , in 4 and later St James the Greater was supposed to have died there , the name coming from

“

f . the Italian orm Giacomo , Apostolo Pilgrims wore home the scallops found there as did those from Rome ’ f fl the Peter s pence , and those rom Jerusalem two lea ets of palm . The last were placed by the altar on their f return , and used on Palm Su nday . Palmers o ten con tined wanderers after their return to England having no house nor wife . 3 4

So the common name for the s callop of England is ’

m . St . Ja es s cockle It has one flat and one hollow

. shell , and they served as plate and cup An ancient work by G u illim quotes a French manu

“ script at the College of Arms : that in Bearing of the Escallop in Armes s ign ifie t h e the first bearer of such Armes have beene a Commander who by his vertues and valour had so gained the hearts and loves of his souldiers and companions in Armes that they desired much to fol ’ low him even into danger s mouth , and that he in recip r o cat i o n of their love s had ventured to sacrifice himself for their safeguard .

Here are three meanings but the first is the usual one .

’ “ ma Dr . Colby says , A Colby y have been in the Cru m sades , or in so e war , i n which he served under Lord _

Dacre , who bore three escallops ; and then adopted them , a little varied , out of compliment to the greater noble .

But all this is guesswork . Such cases are very common . There is nothing to give the sligh test indication o f the origin of the arms .

I t would seem to me , however , that such appropriations

o f of the arms of another , are rather the habit later days , from the impossibility o f imagining any new sort of de vice . Of the 53 8 present temporal peers o f England no less than 3 50 have been created since the beginning of 1 2 6 the present century , and during the last century , 6 2 w f 1 00 leaving only whose titles ere con erred prior to 7 . Besides the borrowing or inventing of emblems for all n e w these nobles , think of the larger class . called gen

- tles , many of whom take to themselves coats in complete o f disregard the laws of the realm . At the outstart o f m this business , I believe there was co plete individuality in the armorial devices . “ fl Cuvier called scallops the butter ies of the ocean .

I never heard of the weaving . Y e t Rye was familiar with the Colby arms , and had no reason to make a new coat of it .

H B R AL U THE s BOO K .

’ The Heralds pedigree b egins w ith Sir John of Swar son , and thus they probably judge that he belonged to a different line , though of the same stock . The reason of this coat being different from C . of C . cannot now be given with any certainty . The chan ges may mean that they were thought to be an improvement , or that the line which begins with Sw ars o n w a s a jun ior or an illegitimate branch o f th e older family . To this I rejoin The Heralds began this work more than a ce ntury later ; and all they knew o f any family was what the members told them . And the vanity o f a

Sw a r s o n h Ou s e o f Sw a rs o n w would claim a Sir John , hile a Brundish house was equally sure to date back to a Sir

EXT it is well to review the causes of the Puritan emigration to the wilds of Amer

ica . Puritanism dated from an English - 1 church quarrel in 550 . The hundred who landed on Plymouth Rock in 1 6 2 0

were not Puritans but Separatists . They

u r ifi c a believed the Church of England ‘was beyond all p — tion . Elizabeth had suspended one third of the London clergymen for having opin ions of their own , as early as

1 559 and fourteen were sent to jail . A new law deposed

2 . o 3 3 clergymen in six counties . Rev Thomas C lby ,

D . D . , Rector of Cawston , was ejected with his large family . Luckily , he had had the Colby sagacity to look — out for a rainy day by marrying a coheiress , Mary — m Hobart , before he took a political appoint ent in a pulpit . m m Any private person staying fro church a onth , advising others , or attending an irregular worship , would be imprisoned , banished , or hanged . King James next f drew the lines still tighter . I n nine houses o every ten

. i n fa n the talk was of America But Puritanism , then in its c y , came by the middle of the century into complete pos session of the reins of Great Britain . Now there was no ne ed to come to America for peace; and but few came hither . The Winthrop company which settled Boston ,

1 6 0 . 1 6 0 came in 3 , fifteen hundred strong I n 4 there 52 were over settlers in Massachusetts ; but -thence re onward for a hundred years , not so many came as turned home . o f n Y e t Eastern England was the cradle Purita ism , the majority o f the immigrants came from the south w est ern part of England . They were gentry and farmers - and fishers from all about , not from any one county . This emigration was the result of two events which — had just occurred , the first general distribution of the “ o f e x e rime n t al bible , and the discovery p religion .

These two factors overturned all the old ideas . Follow t h e ing , as they did , great intellectual renaissance caused by the invention of printing , which produced such men as Shakspere , Bacon , Sidney , Raleigh , the movement was s among the thinking clas . The old Mayflower brought many cultivated , educated men hither , and Anthony Colby was one . — a America was then what Africa is now , jungle , a - w — a swamp , a fever bed but England was orse , bedlam of fanatics . Although it was told that this climate was often fatal to Englishmen , it was also told that there were hundreds of acres of cultivated land “ grown up with e ’ we ds higher than a man s head , left by the I ndians who had nearly all accommodatingly died of smallpox . I n reality such acres were scarce . But beh ind the whole colonizing enterprise was a

r y ~ shrewd group of London land speculato s , taking ad ah tage of the wild frenzy for church freedom , and secretly engineering the expedition . WAS IT O U R ANTHONY ?

The questions naturally arise here , why Anthony Colby of Beccles , Eng . , has but now been found to be identical with Anthony Colby o f Amesbury in Massachusetts and

“ ” u i s est zi t c r eda m i n eu m 9 Q , Forty years ago I noticed that the signature o f the old A mesbury pioneer ,

at as preserved in the record office Salem , had that free ,

o f o f a n d f flowing look as a man , culture ; a terwards , on ’ reading t he fe w lines o f his biography gi ven in S’avage s

“ ” o f o f N e w a D ictionary the Early Settlers Engl nd , I f f observed that he was a reeman , and ancied he might be

a e n t l e ma n . g And so , with an awakened interest , but without the slightest expe c tation o f tracing ou r family to

o f w Buckingham Palace , or intention riting a history , I started in to make a methodical examination o f the Vis i t at i o n s of every county in England and Scotland for my own enlighte n ment I first s aw that the Colby gentry in England w ere a t

— a l that date limited to three counties , virtu l y to two ; and then found there w ere but two A n thony’ s i n all the

f f w a . o long records He B rundish was a e ye rs too early .

m b e f . . n o and his name bore the sad otto o s p . , le t children . He was not the Puritan exile . But Anthony o f Roos Hall was later ; and his name i n the list had this notable pe culi a rity : a ll t h e o ther s had

— —f on h is e details , marriage or residence or death t nam stood bare . What ! did no one know anything about him ?

I t r ie d to date him but the register o f t h e B eccle s

i n a fri esi t family is sadly in need o f more date s . se t d o see if the church books w ere saved fro m t h e gre at ti re of

e n b ut a re u i t e the seventeenth century . They r mai , q S4

’ o f 6 1 2 se e l . 1 il egible The date Prince Henry s death , , ( ’ a e p . shed however a favorable ray on Anthony s g o f h i s t - - 1 6 t and the death s epfather number two in 5 7 , wi h s n a i everal other fam ily dates , i creased the prob b lity that w as t h e 1 8 he born near year 5 5 .

A nthony was probably the seventh or eighth child ,

’ ' f r s w ill w a s e d some o them perhaps twins . H is fathe dat 1 88 m 5 , and he died soon after , as Beatrice , his other ,

t . . married W illiam Grim s on , esq , within five years I n — 1 a m t n u . ch . S r 593 Rosehall was t xed to Mrs Gri s o . f A

86 . a w as 1 1 4 His eldest brother , Thom s married in 599 an d the children date forward twelve years or more . ’ ’ G ar n e s I 6 6 a n d e So , between y death in 5 Beatric s r 1 a n d emarriage in 593 , there occurred four marriages ’ twelve births to Anthony s parentage . ’ The problem o f Anthony s age 1 8 complicated by his f - d having , besides his our grandparents , four step gran f f e athers , and our twost p grandmothers also by the

’ ’ B aronet s t widdling with the church records a n d other d e n a n d f o f ocumentary vide ces ; urther , by the existence

C i e six Thomas olbys w thin fifty miles , at about the sam date . Th e h i s w i fe age of Susannah , , can be definitely fixed

1 , by th e births of her children . She was born about 6 1 0

' h a n d was very near her t w e n t i e t y e ar when married . I f h i s i 1 8 w a s -fi ve b rth was in 5 5 , he twenty years her senior bu t she su rvived him forty years .

We have no means o f knowing wheth er it was sudden impulse or settled purpose which led this gentleman o n shipboard that Spring day ; but he was very evidently an e a rnest Puritan . ’

M r w G ov . . Colby came ith W inthrop s company in ’ VV i n t h ro s o f 1 6 3 0 . The passage (see p H istory New ”

f . m England ) lasted rom May to j u ly Landing at Sale , e they continued to Charl stown and B oston , where the six shiploads o f immigrants spent the winter in huts and

a n d t tents . But Colby Haddon apparen ly went up to

n o w . e what is Cambridge , and planted that city A mil ’ or two further up the river Sal t o n s t all s company settled

w a a s that Fall , at Waterto n . The Boston m n ger planned

f f at a e a ll to orti y C mbridge when Spring op ned , and

. It h o w remove thither for their colony was not done , ever ; but in 1 6 3 2 great sw arms o f newly arrived squat ters seized everything in sight there . Although a church w a s bu ilt at Cambridge in 1 63 2 he continued to fellowship with t h e Boston church whose

f ff me t f belie s were di erent , and where he his old riends .

’ The locati on o f A n thony s first house w a s on the road

M t . n to Aubur , where it runs close by the river . There are three very old willows near his lot ; a n d the circular b ’ rick building , on the rising ground , shows where the

a - only good l nding place was , among these marshes . This homestead was in neither Cambridge nor Water ~

a town till the line was adjusted two years l ter .

Wh t h e en Cambridge records presently began , his

ab u t t o r s name was on every page , and he was crowded by

“ to the last inch: He bu ilt him another house by the: ‘ vV ash i n t o n n g Elm . and later , another ear Fresh Pond 57

H H i sto r . o f . . Hayward , in his y Hancock , N , says that l fi n with Anthony came his brother Thomas . d no

a . reason to think so . There may have been such legend

ANTHONY IN BOSTON . The name of “ A nthony C h au lby appears upon the record of the Boston First Church as No . 93 , beside that f w of jared Haddon . The wives o many ere recorded , but Y e t n o t f w none to him . it does ollo that he had none at that date . They were not all down . The first covenant

1 0 2 1 6 0 . with 5 names is dated Charlestown , August 7 , 3

“ ” a ame s an d Then comes a list m rked Added N , another n 1 6 800 . dated 3 3 . The first arrival u mbered The church — “ covenant which they signed was as fo llo w s z We pro m ise to walk in all o ur ways according to the rule of the f ’ gospel , and in all sincere con ormity to God s holy ordi

s o ' nances , and in mutual love and respect to each other , ” near as He shall give us grace . M r . Colby was evi de n tly a thoroughgoing Puritan ; fo r not all that came joined the church . of Rev . j ohn Cotton , one the great preachers of Eng

1 6 . land , came in 3 3 He escaped the sheriffs there with h w o . b e great difficulty , were sent to arrest him He came pastor of the First Church . O n the second sab bath afternoon he made the custom ary confession of faith for himself and wife ; and then gave his reasons for not — himself baptizing , while at sea , their son , born on the — passage and therefore named Se ab o r n z becau s e there w as o w as no church gathered there , and als because he not a minister except when connected with a church . w as f So the child baptized here , the ather presenting it . a f Then nother ather presenting another boy , it was bap t ize d o f with the name j ohn Colby , son of Anthony and Susannah . 58

Mr . Cotton remarked that this beautiful symbol was m U not e ployed for any effect pon these baby boys , but l “ for its inf uence upon their fathers , being an incentive ” e for the help of th ir faith . And thus the deep impression made upon the minds of those present caused it to be

c h ro n i cl e db us . y more than one , for who live later f n But a atal disease broke out amo g them , attributed a e to unwholesome f re at sea , and proved inf ctious .

Consternation seized upon them , and a hundred returned s dw ho m e within a year . Tho e remaining elt for months in a few huts and tents , and suffered indescribably from the inclemency of a New England winter . We will not wonder if Susannah wanted now to move away from the ’ o f water s edge , and give their little one the shelter the

Cambridge woods . N R I CAM B IDG E .

. t There was not much chance for farming in Bos on , and all the good pasturage was across the river . Anthony

XC EPT he had cattle and a great deal of ground to keep ” them , said Gov . Bradford o f

could live . Plymouth started with out cattle and starved ; Cambridge started with cattle

- and thrived. But these river meadows cou ld not ae com mo dat e - 1 6 all kine kind , and in 3 4 men went everywhither " seeking new meadows . A n d before long a charter was secured by a company of Bay men to form a settlement at the mouth of the

Merrimack , on the northern side . The grant consisted of a strip three miles wide , parallel with the river . The managers of the company were certain speculators at the e Bay , with littl idea of going themselves . Oh , the

“ extensive meadows Oh , the grass so high that a man !” or a beast would not be seen five rods Oh , the bay Pow ow full of cod , and the full of salmon , and the ! marshes full of deer and geese Fish sold for 35 . per h - Sal i s u b u r t ousand , verily , this y , first called Colchester , was quite an Agapemone for the settlers . There were twelve families o f Ipswich who joined with the company that settled Newbury and then Salisbury . 6 1

A continuous succession o f lawsuits fo r the recovery of beach property , now grown very valuable , has been kept u p all these years by Salisbury heirs . It is now before the U . S . circuit court .

UNDE R A BAN . Nine years he staid at this place and then he moved upstream into the wilderness again . He was evidently being slighted . The other twelve gentlemen were called

M r . ; he was not . When he spoke in town meeting he w a s fined for disturbance . Nearly every other man held ~ office at times ; many of them could not write , but could put on an immense amount of bumptiousness and strut . no If he had office from his townsmen , he was man enough to receive the appointment of appraiser for the 1 Government in 640 . He seemed to be under some cloud . It is not probable that we shall ever know what it was but his descendants will always discuss the ’ matter with interest : What was Anthony s burden P

Supposing he simply let his hair grow long , as the ff royalists did at home , he would have been an o ense to ” “ o these rou ndheads , who wore a close cut . Am ng the nf Puritans the slightest inco ormity was a scandal . Why ,

o f w as one of his neighbors , a lady standing publicly ” whipped for some “ dangerous Opinion about wearing veils in church or the like , and had her tongue put in a split stick . I n some ways these were narrow times , and no doubt Anthony was too broad for his day and genera tion . It was evidently not roy alism that was laid to him , 6 2

or he would have staid with his brothers and flourished . It was not for irreligion ; for the Colchester crowd was m ’ not very pious , judging fro Cotton Mather s little story o ne I have heard that of our ministers , when once t he preaching in northeast regions , urged them to approve themselves a religious people that otherw ise they would ’ c o n t ra i c h e m d t t ain end of planti ng in this wilderness . ” e - W hereupon a w ll known person [not Anthony , he was “ m .

m e . v Agape on Corn , says Winthrop ; was ery scarce all over the country and many families in most towns had

’ ’ o fi s -fi sh clams , muscle , dry , etc . Another trouble was - f the wolves ; they seemed to multiply instead o diminish . Th e great packs of Canada seemed to s mell the pigs and sheep afar off and come down for a meal —so a bounty ff “ was o ered of tenne shillings , and more later , for each r head . Thus a shepherd had to be hired that the fa mer might toil and every Saturday you must leave your work

s to trayne , not only in the use of gu n but with half

1 6 -o n pikes and bows , while all over had to take turn

the watch . During these times of scarcity the hungry people fo r o a began to look about some pr fit ble employment , whereat they could earn a little money ; and the manu facture of casks and of woollen goods took an active u start . Small coasting vessels were b ilt here , and a great

Anthony had another comrade in his various sojourns , s o f William Sargent . Among the fir t settlers the Bay f were three of that name ; but , this one was a son o -at - Richard Sargent of London , Barrister Law , who mar ried a daughter of Sir Richard Saltonstall , Under

“ 1 6 A n t h o n i e C o lbi e t And in 4 7 sold o Willi Sargent , ” ‘ tw o- seaman , his house and acre lot at Salisbury where

' he and his family had lived and planted for seven years . I t stood between those of Jared Haddon and Henry

Browne . Sargent sold it again the next y ear . t f Anthony had a hird riend here named Thomas Macy ,

. w as an educated man from Chilmark , England Macy a t prominent actor in the early se tlement of the two towns , and a man of strong opinions on religious subjects , but not quite in sympathy with the Puritans . He it was - that the new village had for their preacher . O n several occasions he exhorted on Sunday as their m inister , till f the Court at Boston inter ered to prohibit him . By thus

" describing this man we may incidentally throw a little light f on the character of his riend Colby , and show how the n- latter came to be fined for speaking in tow meeting . I n

‘ the summer of 1 655 two Quakers took shelter during a ’ - r violent thunder sto m in M acy s house ; and , as harboring w as a c rimi n al fl e d a Quaker offense , M acy to N antucket to avoid the consequences . He had previously planned to go , however , and Anthony had bought his homestead

' denied the sale and tried to expel the w idow and her children by legal process . He did not recover the premises , however ; and they remain in the possession of h B t e Colby family to this day . Mr . ailey thinks Macy was an d k an excellent man , insists that he never came bac in person . This Macy farm was bounded on the west by the b u r i n ro u n d - y g; g where the meeting house stood , (but not ” Golgotha which is q uarter of a mile northerly) east “ e r erly by the road to the Fer y , and included y house in w h 6 “ he dwelleth at y present time , as also a parcel of c h e e ” land w is fenced in before y street opposite y house .

T H E O L D COLBY HOU SE . — The house , which is still standing and occupied by ’ — A nthony s direct descendants , was originally a two e 2 0 2 story frame , p rhaps by 5 feet . The lower story an e was one room , with entry and a huge fir place . This - a n d was living room , workshop , sometimes sleeping o f w room . At each end the fireplace ere benches where on winter evenings the women and children worked and as played , while the men used the room their workshop , - all by the light of a pine knot stuck into a socket in the back of the fi replace . The attic was parted off by board

- divisions, or perhaps by coverlets , into sleeping rooms . As s necessitie arose and means increased , such houses

~ were enlarged by a back lean to , and by lengthening the “ m t w o ain house into rooms , developing into the Queen

c h e c ke rme n — i n move like , spite of the frequent advent of young Colbys to his table , or perhaps by the help of many young Colbys at his stable , he gradually became one

- of the largest property holders in the town . He had raised large orchards from seed and planted large gardens , l and raised a l manner of kine . It was hard work to clear l ’ and ti l woodland . A farmer s several lots of land w ere e miles away in s veral directions , and roads abominable .

H ay had to be stacked where cut , and sledded home in winter . I n his later days there were several divisio ns of town

Back River , Great Swamp , River , ’ Lion s Mouth , Hampton , Whiskers H ill ,

Fox I sland , Third D ivision , Fourth Division .

Some of them were very large . The Hampton lot was of seventy acres . When the State line of New Hamp i n 1 m h shire was settled 7 3 7 , uc of this outlying land was 68 gathered into th at State and this will account for some of the grandchildren living in Newton , Hampton , etc . ‘ r- “ Y a .

memory . To us he is not dead greatness and goodness n are ot perishable commodities . We muse on the numberless privations and sufferi n gs which he voluntarily

accepted when he sailed for a savage shore , where he knew that every third man had thus far speedily perished . and it seems to us that this is very like what we call ” “ m “ heroism . He ust have had , like Goldsmith , a blessed facu lty of hoping . He had landed with a feeble ban d in this new world when it was but a howling wilderness ; a n d had lived t o see the Colony securely b established , small timid plantations lossom out into l flourishing towns , to see the I ndians glad to ive as near

admirable laws . A system of schools was established , culminating in a college , both of which were even then

the glory of New England . Though he had sown in

- o . tears , he and his children could reap in j y Little that band of exiles foresaw of the results o f their heroic action ! Little those emigrants knew that they had actually got the center of gravity of the planet in their packing boxes ! Such fortitude and persistence as theirs have been but r arely paralleled in the history of

mankind . How striking the comparison between the ’ brother who was chosen to companion and educate a

fo r future monarch the loftiest throne in the world , and the other brother who thought it good to l ay down all the pomps of earthly preferment for conscience ’ sake and seek to establish for his family a free home , an u nhampering government and an u nbought and unbiased education !

O H N already had his own home by the bean f Pow ow ti ul River , where he lived to be the

father of eight children . The old house remained in his mother ’ s hands till her second ’ ’ husband s death . During Macy s suit John a n d testified to its having been paid for , calls it his \ ’ ’ mother s house . The year after Anthony s death she sold her son Isaac sixty acres near H averhill to pay for her board ; and sixteen years later gave her son Thomas half of all the lands her husband left her , in consideration of 1 66 services rendered her . I n 4 she married for her second

Y o u have lived to welcome all of your grandchildren , and ! / some of their children The little remaining property , 1 0 v 1 0 1 £ 5 , was di ided among them in 7 , by Samuel , and the papers of administration are at Salem . The shares

- - were £ 9 6 4 . John loved his parents ; for he called h is w t ins , Anthony and Susannah , and the frequency of the recurrence of their names in the nearer generations evinces an undoubted admiration .

And now the old homestead passed into the hands of

large family , and also to be in style , remodelled the old

house to its present shape .

R SECOND G ENE ATION .

John at Boston . She did not live . Sarah was the first h married , and her usband , Orlando Bagley , became a

man of considerable influence in the district . He w as

s u n l e as constable of Ame bury , and had at one time , the p o i W ant duty apprehending his friend and neighbor , idow

Susannah Martin , for a witch , and bringing her to trial at

w as . Salem , where she afterwards executed We are glad n to note that , although most of her eighbors testified ’

o f . against her , none the Colbys did so Sarah s son

Orlando Jr . was long schoolmaster in the town .

William Sargent , one of the first settlers here , was ,

like many others of that generation , a traveller . No

S doubt in those days of land p eculation , a rolling stone

gathered the most moss . H is children , Elizabeth and

r W illi , J . , married Samuel and Mary Colby . The Colby girls were respectively mothers o f lines of able and distinguished descendants Rebecca married John o f W illiams , one the original planters of Haverhill , near

“ ’ ” 1 6 2 -i n sold in 7 , his Lyon s Mouth lot (to his brother a law , John Hoyt , ) so called because it lay way back by bid to the Great Swamp , where the red men , and go Y e t there was venturesome . the red men did not spare him on this account ; but killed him not very far from his ’ r own home , on the ridge near the G eat Swamp Brook , -a - westerly from the house , not half mile . This is a f a amily tradition . H is wife was administr trix of his will , 1 which dates 6 74 . Besides their homestead there was B a s me re 0 land at y , 4 acres in Great Playne , 3 5 acres of

o x - t u l ot woodland , one pas re , pewter smoothing yron ,

Samuel Colby , son of Anthony. married Elizabeth , daughter of W illi Sargent , seaman . Samuel was made 1 660 a freeman or townsman in , and was then twenty

w as one or more years old . I n his youthful days he something of a black sheep , and always had a streak of f u . that color , altho gh in after life he held many o fices 1 66 I n 5 he was fined for abusing a wench , and admon i s h e d 1 66 2 b . I n Goody Col y his mother received forty

“ ’ ” acres east of the Children s Land . On her death he h r . w o sold as her administrator to Samuel , J , this tract , the same day resold it to his father . As an adm inistra tor could not buy at a sale , this method of sharp practice 0 was adopted to evade the law . He already had 7 acres there , adjoining Hampton . m When Samuel was about to be arried to Elizabeth , f 0 O x sometime be ore he was 3 , he went out into the

Common in East Haverhill , as he saw some others do ,

“ e w a s 1 1 Leav granted him to construct an arch in 7 4 , w m by the highway near the inn , of hich so e traces still

- remain . It was a cellar pit . ’ He and John s son John were soldiers against King 1 6 6 e a Philip in 7 , and were at the bloody massacr ne r De e r fie ld “ , on the Connecticut river , known as the Falls w as fight . He was a serjeant . The army returning to H adley through a ravine ; th e Indians ambushed them and at one volley killed Captain Turner and forty o f his men . John Chase and Samuel Colby helped to bury the body of the Captain . By order of the Court a township of land near the scene of battle was given to each par t i cipa n t or his heirs ; yet it was not till 60 years later that “ a e Samuel Coleby , eldest son of Samuel Coleby , l t of

Amesbury , was admitted to the first choice of lots in the ” n e w ' tract . I n his will Samuel gave his wife Elizabeth part of his property “ to be her own unless she gets w as married again . Otherwise it to go to grandson

Ichabod .

Thomas l ived near the old home , dying at the age of

Sh e forty . H is widow married Henry Blaisdell . was allowed by the court £ 3 0 for keeping the you n g children £ “ and 3 0 for k eeping a Jdio t . Thomas was fo r some time a constabl e . H is wife was Hannah . I saac Colby married M artha their Anthony was w born at Haverhill , but I saac and Rebecca at Ro ley , 1 688 where the father died about . There is doubt if the youngest son of the first fam ily H e was called Amos or Orlando . did not live long .

The o nly casualty at this time that I find to our family is the murder of Serjeant John Hoyt , brother to John ’ Colby s wife ; although others may have been victims . He f was constable , and the enemy singled out these o ficers

f r o . and , to use the phrase of the moderns , laid them I n the Reports of the Expedition against the Kennebec I ndians are detailed accounts of the valor and tragic death

1 2 of Ensign Colby , another early martyr , in 7 3 . The third generation had . a perilous time during these years .

The frequent calls . of war for men and money kept them in constant destitution . It is often said that the wars continued a hu ndred years ; but there w ere times o f

Y e t o f o f . respite . in spite the repeated raids the I ndians down the Merrimack River , the better part of New 1 Hampshire w a s settled between 7 3 0 and 60 . 1 6 -8 A s early as 7 3 , efforts were made by Amesbury to people start a settlement at W arner , and meetings were held , Justice Orlando Bagley presiding , at which it was voted to clear a road to Contoocook River , and to pay Orland o Colby (9 1 ) and t w o others to build a good h sawmill there . Timothy Colby and four ot ers w ere appointed a committee to survey . I n time the work was 1 done ; but the scheme still hung fire . I n 749 , Thomas Colby (73 ) and four others were sent up to build four ’ settlers houses in the projected tow n . Then came new

a nd e I ndian wars the place was desert d , and the mill and houses were destroyed by the enemy . Many years passed before any settlers gathered there . The first north road was cut through H ampstead and H Chester to Concord , N . . ; the next through London derry . An early traveller characterizes much of that country as poor land , not worth staking . 8 1

There was a great celebration and military parade at the final establishment of the line between Massachusetts and N e w Hampshire in 1 74 1 and the Governors came on horseback with stately retinues . The river towns , f Salisbury , Amesbury , H averhill , found themselves bere t o fmuch o ftheir back territory ; and many of the Colby families suddenly learned that they were natives of New

ew t o w n Hampshire . N was a favorite name for offshoots ; and , after being successively applied to different villages ,

r finally became the fixed designation of No th Amesbury , and it is Newton N . H . to this day . Deacon Ebenezer

o f f was one the pioneers o this town .

“ ” THE TH R EE B R OT H ER S M YTH .

From family after family of Colbys , I have received the story that “ we were descended from three brothers who

a 1 00 c me across early in 7 , each giving three different names till there must have been sixty or more Colby

. n o w imm igrants But so far as I can remember , there is not one brother o fall the threescore whose parentage and w h brotherhood I do not well kno . Every one is a c ild of A nth ony . And there is not one but I can name the town records or registry where it can be proved .

But what makes the matter worse , it is not the Colbys

o f only , but the Smiths and Joneses and a great multitude ” w h “ others o have the three brothers monomania . And no one o f the victims will be convinced by the legal evidence . Some of our brethren even refuse to get me records of their town because it will disprove th e ir claims . a h e t The brothers must have been Shem , Ham , and J p , who came over in the ark . Englishmen were not coming over in these perilous w as days and venturing into New Hampsh ire . There no 82 need of importing Colby brothers at this time fo r in 1 740 or 60 our whole northern coast was swarming with Wil

r liams and Johns in surprising multitudes . Now eve y

w h o f family denies their ather Anthony , will be found to ‘W — have an A nthony , a Ruggles , or a illoughby , some peculiar family mark which will not be concealed .

' w as a of a few years ; this Benai h , son of Joseph and w ho Anna Bartlett , was three years younger than his

Mrs . Turner ; that they lived awhile in th e Salisbury region

C O 1 h . t Enoch Colby , 4 , of Thornton , son of the preceding , also served seven years in the Legislature .

t h . . H is son , Enoch 5 , long U S Surveyor at Chicago , “ H e s t at e s t is the correspondent quoted above . hat my grandfather told me that his grandfather Enoch Colby , f m r told him he came ro the walled city of Cheste ,

Eng . , (near Liverpool) early in the seventeens . Three generations sat at table then , and this year three sat a gain , but only one the same .

S SS M E . WI CA ET , , While one effect of the I ndian war was to preven t

w a s settlements , another to show up the country to our young men as they went campaigning . And the Kenne 1 2 - l bec expedition , in 7 3 5, was fo lowed by the planting . of several towns near that river . A remarkably fi ne deep

Po w n a l sb o ro u h harbor was fou nd at g , afterwards called

Wiscasset , just beyond the mouth of the Kennebec , and ’ during fifteen years previous to the town s incorporatio n

1 0 . in 74 . there had gathered some fifty families Among the Wiscasset pioneers were A mbrose and Ruggles f rom the old Anthony house in A mesbury . Ambrose was a blacksmith . H is brother Ruggles , and Benjamin

S w from Charlestown , were hip rights of some sort . They m o swar ed over across to Edgcomb , and the ther way

o f into Westport , as well as upstream . A special home the Colbys in M aine has been on Deer I sland at the r mouth of the Penobscot , nea Bar Harbor . Following a seafaring life , they have been very prosperous . Few o f the M aine Colbys have any tradition of Amesbury , but

“ e have one of Three Brothers . Y t they continue the old home - n ames of Ruggles and A nthony I M ISCE L L A N IE S .

TRADITI ON in our family is o f the good old w h e n h days t ey lived in the backwoods . A girl o f eight with two younger children went out near the house to eat high blackberries . There was a fallen log upgrown with a hedge of the vines , and when they pulled them open , behold , a large black ! , n bear on the other side eating . berries withi a yard

I n less time than it takes to tell , the girl had a child tucked under each arm , and was making good time for the cabin .

THE R EV OLUTIONAR Y WAR . I n none of the American conflicts have the Colby men

“ been backward about coming forward . They have evidently inherited a goodly measure of the military spirit f f are o f their ore athers . The earlier American army rolls easy of access , and our tables name those who were w but arriors , it would be a Herculean task to try to list the many o f our kindred who were scattered th rough the f cou ntless columns o the late Rebellion .

DEACON EBENEZ ER COLBY .

Among the early A merican re p resentatives o f our family this man is somewhat conspicuous . H e was the second son of Isaac Jr . of Haverhill , married Mary Chase and lived in that town and in Newtown , N . H . raising a

a large f mily . Their names in our table are from his old s family bible . H is two elder son were drowned when you ng men . On the approach of the Revolution he was 90

one of a co mit t e e of fifteen in Haverhill “ to enforce the ' ” re s e c t i n t h e Covenant p g Continental Congress , and was ’

o . captain of a company in Col . Johns n s regiment H is

“ ’ son Daniel was also a minit man a n d on a min ute s notice when the alarm came fr o mJ t h e Battle of Lexing

ton , they marched to Cambridge , seventy m iles , staying

” four days .

of a e As he was then sixty years g , it will be seen that “ e his heart was on the right sid , and the reason will be

evident why he did not participate further 1 n the struggle . Deacon Ebenezer in late life followed his So n and

H W . namesake to Sanbornto n , N . . , here he married Mrs

1 86 . Elizabeth (Smith) Quimby in 7 , and died there

PHILBR OOK COLBY . This name appears with much frequency upon the

H ave h ill a 1 - w a s a o u n rolls bout 7 50 60 . He y g black sm ith ; enlisted for a sho rt te rm , and w as honorably d r discharged ; enlisted again , and at Fort Edwar , nea the he Hudson river , deserted . W e trust had good reasons

u tt 1 n n for thus p g himself on record . The ext season he he went again fo r tw o years ; and was at Crown Point

e . and Ticonderoga . After the war he settl d in Weare

T H EKIN G STON CLAI M .

H . a Levi Colby , of Weare , N . , married his cousin , S rah 1 0 Achilles , about 7 9 ; and , with his brother , Obadiah ,

1 n removed to Canada . Living the I ndian cou ntry , the

ma rr i e d' a latter red maiden , and was soon chosen chief

of the tribe , by whom he was much beloved . Levi N e w returned to Hampshire , with his family , and was in f time notified that Obadiah , dying without heirs , had le t

him a large tract of land bordering Lake O ntario . He

9 1

f did not go on to see it ; but , long a terward , the family were visited by a solicitor , who desired authority to pros e c u t e o f their claim to the property . as the growth a great Y e t city upon it had rendered it enormously valuable . t o f the ci y Kingston , whether from negligence or from

“ o f s o f lack the sinew war , has never come into posses sion of the Colby heirs . The H istory of Weare says that the land whereon the

Houses of Parliament in London now stand , was once in i t n ow Colby hands . As has been used as for hundreds fo r of years , and in part public purposes for many more , n the matter is scarcely worth looki g up .

A G USHING WIDOW .

Capt . Spencer Colby , who sailed one of the many

n ships of Sir William Pepperell , i the palmy days of Ports ’ mouth s early commerce , married Lydia Waterhouse her brother w a s a celebrated professor at Harvard . I n time

W a f Lydia became idow Colby , and terwards W idow

Dennet . She was not only a very attractive woman , but a very industrious o n e ; and one day when she was

' ’ w i n me n s ashing her sheep in the pond , dressed apparel

- with a leather apron on , and a straw hat , who should ,

' oh a e arrive fine horse but Judg Plummer , fully bent on

- courting . The lad with the straw hat showed him into the parlor , and called the widow from the foot of the stairs , w a a then slipped in the back y , and presently ppeared in all the majes ty and elegance of a fine lady . They were m ‘ soon arried ; and b o t h liv e d to be ninety years of age .

We have now glanced over a remarkable family record . When I call to m ind the series of successes which have

attended this research , I am amazed and delighted To 1 1 0 such a dim , remote antiquity , 7 , have we looked back as to hold us breathless Hardly a hundred families in — — Europe , and surely nowhere else in the world , can see m u so far . Modern English en , pointing back pro dly to n 1 00 . 5 , claim a wonderful li eage We have seen our family achieve high social and and fi nancial successes , better still , gain distinction as

a n d — scholars statesmen , and then disappear in the ’ di sastrous turmoil o f England s civil war . But again we

e ar — s c c n t i n u e d a n d see how grandly it r appe ed , aved , , ennobled by the very member who withdrew from the broils of politics and the vanities of fashion and drew the veil o f the wilderness around hi s seclusion ! We have

had no dukes . or kings ; but the honors of heroism and

science have been ours over and again . There are some positions Where one man is pl a ced from superior com r e t e n c . p y , because anothe could not perform the duties To such offices have our brethren been repeated ly pro

moted . A nd While hundreds of worthy members throng before f v t h us , loved an d u n orgotten , we reluctantly reser e pages o f their eulogiums for another volume ; yet with the pleasant remembrance that there are s o many o f such and none of the unworthy in the u nwritten annals o f
